Big Fat Skinny Girl

I updated my food intake from yesterday, which was a bad day. As I mentioned in yesterday's post when I get frustrated I tend to binge on carbs. At least this time I restrained myself to extra dark chocolate instead of a big bowl of ice cream. There will be no weight updates on the weekends because I don't get up at the same time of day and I don't feel it's as reliable.

Yesterday I decided to try posting my menu on low-carb friends to see if anyone could point out where I might be going wrong. I only really got one response, but it was a good one and it made me think. Thank you TaDa!, whoever you are, for reminding me that it's going to be extra hard to lose weight when starting from a lower bmi than from a higher one. I think I had lost track of that a bit and was beating myself up too much. She also suggested that I re-read one of the books and do a really strict jump start week to get my body moving. Also a good suggestion. I think I might read The Primal Blueprint. I've been meaning to for awhile anyway.

The other thing that TaDa! pointed on when I mentioned the fact that my real goal is to lose the weight hanging out around my middle, is that the only true method of targeted weight loss is lipo. Well prepare to be shocked - been there, done that, ready to do it again. Two months ago I had lipo on my stomach to get rid of this fat that just wouldn't budge. Most people are shocked and seem to disapprove when I tell them that (even though I know 90% of you ladies out there know deep down you've thought about it). Well I'm not ashamed. I did all the research on the procedure, found a doctor and then spent a full year doing a strict diet and exercise program to see if I could lose that fat on my own. I couldn't so I had it sucked out. My doctor says I shouldn't do a compare and contrast until 3 months out, so I will share the pictures next month, but so far I'm extremely pleased.

Next Thursday I go in to get my thighs done. And I can't wait.
